CASZIN Editor-in-Chief Bernhard Bradatsch spoke with Ralf Braun from 777. Topics included processes at the popular cam portal, technology in broadcasting, model management and the work of affiliates or webmasters.
Ralf, thank you very much for answering our questions for our new b2b magazine CASZIN. You’ve been a cam supervisor and affiliate manager at 777 for about two years now. You will mainly work remotely from your headquarters in Pilsen, Czech Republic. Can you briefly outline what a typical working day looks like for you?
Ralf Braun:
The typical workday at 777 doesn’t have normal 8 hour work, instead I am always online keeping an eye on the channel/user/partner support to respond to requests immediately. We get requests in 24h and shows also need to be checked and unlocked. In addition, there are video and image galleries that need to be checked. Of course, I have colleagues who support me. Furthermore, I run a livecam agency in Plzen, where I also lead models into the business myself. In my agency, the shows work directly on the portals and are trained and trained to earn good money. The profiles, pictures,videos are also made by us so that the model/creator can concentrate on the essentials.
Bernhard Bradatsch:
Let’s stay with your livecam agency for a moment. You have been running a studio in the Czech Republic for many years. How can I imagine the work of the models, how do they benefit from your experience ?
Ralf Braun:
I am not a classic manager. I provide advice and want to be successful together with the girls. Times have changed a lot in the livecam sector. In the past, a bed in a room was enough and put the woman in it and the euro rolled. With the tips it is such a thing. The best tips are of no use if the woman is not suitable for the job. The most important thing is to be very communicative, have fun chatting, you should be erotically interested and a good customer care should be guaranteed. Then you should be aware that the livecam is also work and not pure pleasure. Getting rich quick with a few hours a month doesn’t work at all. A good friendly appearance also helps to earn good money
Bernhard Bradatsch:
Let’s talk about the camgirls – or “creators”. Here, support is naturally required in many respects. For me, it’s mostly about the content, the show. What can you advise a camgirl who wants to increase his sales in terms of content such as background, workplace, appearance, clothing, styling and the show itself ?
Ralf Braun:
That varies greatly. A model should not be pigeonholed, but her personality should be highlighted. Everybody is different, as the saying goes. One lady is rather a funny type, another sexually open-minded, one likes lacquer and leather, one is very natural and rather the housewife from next door etc.. It is important to have good lighting, to look private, to be made up and well-groomed in front of the cam and to have fun. If you are in a bad mood, it will also affect your cam turnover.
Bernhard Bradatsch:
Can you also offer technical support if something is stuck on the PC or the cam is not working properly ?
Ralf Braun:
Due to my many years of studio work, I am always up to date in terms of technology. I know which splitter to use, how strong the internet has to be to stream smoothly and also which PC you need at least. Requests in the 777 support always come to the right man :).
Bernhard Bradatsch:
What are – very roughly – the most frequent support questions ?
Ralf Braun:
It is often about upload image sizes, about the Lovense Toy, profile descriptions and of course “when do I get my money”.
Bernhard Bradatsch:
Can you say what – for affiliates as well as for customers – are the special features that 777 offers ?
Ralf Braun:
777Partner has two big livecam portals, 777Livecams (*) and JetztLive (*). Many German-speaking stations broadcast there, as well as many international ones. With us, the user has the advantage of not having to pay extra for every little thing. Cam2Cam and sound are free with us. With us, the user gets something on the “ears” and for free. A virtual erotic experience is much nicer with the
Original sound, the voice of the broadcaster. Our chat interface is very clear and tidy. Amateurs experience a quick-response support staff that always has the same goal as the amateur. Good sales and good cooperation. For users we constantly have new promotions and great free shows. With our slot machine, users have the opportunity to get extra coins more often. This is where the work of the webmaster comes in. He can advertise promotions and gets coupons for canvassing. A highlight is the own Whitelabel Camportal as WordPress version. Here you can freely design a cam portal, integrate your own blogs, banners and let off steam in SEO. No provider offers such extensive SEO possibilities as our WordPress theme and plugin. If you want to get started, you can write to me and I will send you the link to the download and more information. Our promotional products are simply fantastic. Everything a webmaster needs. From banner rotator, iframe, landing pages,regist box, messenger, XML interface and and and. Everyone can draw from the full and his creativity
free run.
Bernhard Bradatsch:
Let’s get to affiliates. The scene here has changed significantly in recent years. Although the traffic market seems to have become huge, it is precisely because of this that it is confusing and difficult to navigate. Some run their own blog or use social media. Is there a secret recipe how to work best successfully with 777partner as an affiliate ?
Ralf Braun:
You can buy traffic for your website, but you can also attract visitors with social media. Interesting is our WordPress plugin that allows you to build your own white label livecam site. You can prevent so-called double content in Google by integrating individual texts in the shows.
Bernhard Bradatsch:
I find the wordpress plugin and theme very interesting to create an attractive environment for affiliates. How is this accepted, do many affiliates work successfully with these tools ?
Ralf Braun:
I have already mentioned our plugin and we have many webmasters who work with it. Of course, such a plugin is much more labor-intensive than simply putting a banner or an iframe.
Some webmasters are sounding off again and looking for an easier way. But the work is worth it because you place a portal that is found very well then with the right keywords or even sex niches. One must invest here working time, but saves cost-intensive advertisements with
Google and Co. actually ideal to build up a good source of income on the Internet on the side
without investing any money. Earn money with his erotic hobby :).
Bernhard Bradatsch:
Which forms of advertising do you offer in the partner program are used most intensively ?
Ralf Braun:
We have a variety of advertising media to attract users. The direct links to our portals jetztlive.com (*) and 777livecams.com (*) are popular. But also Cambox banner, CamGirl banner, landing pages, special sedcard ads, is often used. Very successful are our coupons for users, which usually bring a quick registration and payment. Each voucher is individual for the partner and when redeemed, the partner gets the user assigned without having to come through a link.
Bernhard Bradatsch:
Can camgirls also advertise their own profile with you in order to then profit from both their cam sales and the affiliate commission?
Ralf Braun:
Yes, they can, and they also like to use it to generate additional sales. With us you get 40% commission from the user’s payment, for life. Ideal for a camgirl to earn money when she is on vacation or not on cam.
Bernhard Bradatsch:
Ralf, thank you very much for the informative interview !
